If Your Politics or Religion Turns Violent You Are Following The Wrong god ~ Repost

In the face of violent insurrection, Jesus was humble in the garden, even healing the high priest’s servant’s ear, did not fight during his scourging at the pillar, crowing with thorns, carrying the cross, nor at his crucifixion. Jesus taught love over hate, peace over conflict, and prayer as his example to heal.

Choosing evil over good is never good regardless of misguided honor, integrity, and valor. Actions speak louder than words.

Those choosing evil over good in civil society wreak havoc on the world of which we are all a part.

Remember, Jesus was also an immigrant when his family fled to Egypt in the middle of the night to flee persecution. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus were welcomed into the land of polytheism, the home of many foreign gods. They stayed there until it was safe to return to Nazareth, the largest Palestinian Arab city inside Israel. Bethlehem is inside the West Bank.

We are all One Race, the Human Race.

Within human DNA are all connections to all of humanity and beyond.

January 6, 2o21, is a good reminder, when the United States Capitol building was breached by an angry mob of domestic terrorists, that many in the name of God and their version of justice were worshipping the wrong god. They did not realize the false liar god they were following was not God, Almighty Father of Jesus, and Creator of all that is.

You can tell them by their fruits.

When the other disciples, along with Peter, James and John who had accompanied Jesus into the Garden of Gethsemane saw the High priest servant and soldiers who had come to arrest Jesus, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We have brought swords!”

But Jesus said, “No more of this.” Peter had just slashed off the ear of the high priest’s servant. Instead, Jesus touched the man’s ear and healed him. Luke 22:49-51

We know this account of the final hours of the life of Jesus. Peter had pledged his allegiance to Jesus, yet in the courtyard of the high priest’s home, he denies Jesus. Peter goes off and weeps with sorrow for not staying true to Jesus, and God, his Father.

Again, we see Jesus teaching us in his example, to stay true to God in the midst of mob rebellion over them hearing words they did not agree with. Jesus simply spoke the truth which Pilate, the Roman governor, and Herod Antipas heard. Herod is present because Galilee was under Herod’s jurisdiction, and Herod happened to be in Jerusalem at the time.

Just like a post in this blog titled “The Battle Of Good And Evil Was Not A One Time Battle ~ Requires Spiritual Warfare In The Face Of Evil mentions Satan seeking a sign of performance, this time Herod wants to see Jesus perform a miracle on command. As we know, that does not happen, even though such a sign might have saved Jesus’ life temporarily. Jesus is handed over to be crucified.

In these desperate days of conflict, disagreement and disunity, it might be tempting to justify hating and harming those who do not believe as we do, not just in the United States of America, in Israel and Palestine, and everywhere else in the world.

This would be an inhuman response. This is not the first time evil and sinister impulses appear as good options when the reality is that they are not. They are birthed from an unholy god. This is an age-old and familiar story.

We could hide our thoughts, words, and actions under the umbrella of politics as a misguided effort to subvert the will of the people, only listening to one-side of the issue, conjuring lies and disinformation as if it is real, and have these lies and conspiracies fall out of powerful and influential mouths. Because of their source, these lies and conspiracies are then touted by all forms of media, still to this day.

Or we could hide our thoughts, words, and actions under the umbrella of our religion. We may have thought we could have plausible deniability if we say the priest, minister, or other guru pontificated the lies and conspiracies of what was actually happening, and guided us into hateful, prideful, and illegal actions, including murder.

But who really is King Liar throughout all history, before Jesus Christ, and after?

Every single one of us is responsible for our own thoughts, words, and actions. Not one of us is perfect. We make mistakes large and small. We sin. I know that is an unpopular word these days, but we do. There are times we have fallen victim to evil, followed evil inclinations, listened to the wrong advise whispered in our ears, minds, or hearts. We can point fingers at others all over the place. I have found the best place to start is with ourselves.

Today’s legal systems will handle the loss of lives through murderous actions of misguided men and women. That is not up to you and me, the common person, to decide and/or act on, other than to correct our own part in this tragedy. There is a higher justice we are answerable to at the end of our lives. It is not the court of popular opinion, Republican, nor Democratic belief; nor Israeli, nor Palestinian belief; nor any other militant aggression.

Obviously, Jesus Christ is not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor any other political leader of any country. If he was anything in today’s division of political and religious belief, he would certainly be a bleeding-heart liberal. He’s the one who gave instructions that if someone slaps you on one cheek that we offer the other cheek as well; that if someone demands our coat that we also give him the shirt off our backs; and the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would like them to do to you. This is worldwide advice for a healthy society.

If you find you have been caught up in Satan’s web of lies and conspiracies, you are not alone. Continuing down the wrong road, going against the words of Jesus, will not get you where you are going. Begin again to only think, speak and act in ways of love and peace.

Don’t forget, Satan’s web of lies are attractive. There is just enough half-truth in them to tickle your mind, heart, and actions. For example, Democrats say everyone has a right to their own body – particularly women. However they do not believe nor promote that the person in the womb equally has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Likewise, Republicans do believe that the person in the womb has the right to life. Yet, they believe in unconscionably harming human life outside of the womb in the middle and lower classes by unethically pouring trillions of dollars to the wealthiest among them, which never trickles down.

This has promoted the worst economy, people losing their homes, standing in huge food lines, and dying from the worst pandemic this nation has ever seen. This is due to the lies that COVID-19 is not real, or worst yet, allowing millions of its citizens to die in the misguided notion that having people get COVID-19 will cause Herd Immunity. The vaccine is what will cause Herd Immunity.

It is odd that the GOP pretends to stand as a noble group with religious backing, while inciting their rank and file, stirring the pot of anger, hate and destruction, the tools of Satan. His works here in the United States and worldwide are painfully obvious.

Use the tools of faith, hope and love. The greatest of these is love. Love is the fertile ground of unity on which to build a better future for tomorrow.

You Are God’s Garden

The Spirit of God dwells WITHIN you. You are God’s Temple.

“Do you not know you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16

How many of us really understand what Paul is writing here in his first letter to the Corinthians? Paul begins the third chapter by talking to his fledgling Christian followers as if they were babies in the Christian life, because that is where they spiritually were, controlled by their own desires, not God’s. They were unaware that the Spirit of God dwelt inside of them, as it does in each one of us.

Within the faithful followers, they were getting confused whether to follow the teachings of Apollos or Paul or Peter, complete with envy, jealousy, and rivalry among the believers, the same as we do today with myriad religions with separate beliefs, yet all teaching about the One God of all.

They wanted to get it right. In the process, they got it wrong. This is not a team sport. Paul was showing them that the firm foundation is based on the fact that the Spirit of God, the individual “I AM Presence” is within every human being.

Paul is speaking to all of us, adding, “Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God’s garden and God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Have you ever thought of yourself as Gods’ garden, something that is within you as opposed to something that is outside of you?

You’ve heard the parable of the good seed and the bad. That is not an example of what to choose outside of you. Rather, the good and bad seed parable is a demonstration of the light and the dark within the DNA of all human beings. Choose the light. Be the light. It is inside of you. That is what is meant by letting your conscience be your guide.

Even Jesus told us this in Luke 17:21, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” King James Version

This original verse was maligned to say “among” you. Modern day scholars, after researching ancient writings of Sanskrit, Hebrew, and Greek are returning this verse to its original meaning, that the kingdom of God, also known as God’s Spirit, and the I AM Presence, resides WITHIN you.

1 Corinthians 3:10-11, “ God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build because Christ is the only foundation.”

This “Christ” is what Jesus came to teach us, that we are Christ beings. It is by recognizing that we all have the Silver Cord of Ecclesiastes 12:6-7, the animating Divine Spark of each Soul, our own I AM Presence within us, that we put on the Mind of Christ. It is there whether we realize it or not, otherwise, we would be dead. The animating life-force active within each person is our God-given Christ Soul. We will keep reincarnating until we become consciously aware of this to the core of our being. It is an acknowledgement of each Self. There is no rush. We are part of eternity, which has no beginning, nor ending.

Paul says to all humankind, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? And whoever defiles the temple of God, God will destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and that temple is you.” ~ 1 Corinthians 3:16,17

Note that it is by fire that ignorance is transmuted into knowledge, no matter how many lifetimes it takes for that to occur. Also notice that the more expansive comprehension of energy (God – Source – Author of all energy), follows what humanity has come to discover in the First Law of Thermodynamics; that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed.

Transmutation by fire is what the Purple Flame of Transmutation is all about, using the words of today’s energy workers as the forge. Sending all those lower energies, self-sabotage, lack of self-esteem, and all dysfunctional energies, to the Violet-Purple Flame as taught by Germain, and lifting human consciousness, enlightening hearts, minds, and voices in the building up rather than tearing down, is the correct interpretation for the “fire” that will consume all.

Love is also compared to fire that consumes the hearts, minds, and actions of individuals. Being in Love transports lovers to heights as if they were floating on clouds. This fire of Divine Love, is another way of expressing the Violet Flame of Transmutation through the Law of Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion.

You and I are made of the Christ Energy animating our Souls which are eternal, just as God is eternal. It is only by God’s Creative Spirit that you are alive, and have always been in the mind, heart, and action WITHIN God, who always was and always will be.

It was popular in the 1960s-70s to think of ourselves as temples of God, and today with the resurgence of good eating habits to think of our bodies as temples of God. Sometimes this thinking has more to do with us than it has to do with God.

Notice in 1 Corinthians 3:22, 23 where it says, “Whether Paul or Apollo or Peter or the world or life or death or all things present or things to come; all things are yours; and you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.”

1 Corinthians 3:1-23:

“My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That’s why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned. ² So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot, ³ because you are not yet spiritual. You are jealous and argue with each other. This proves that you are not spiritual and that you are acting like the people of this world.

⁴ Some of you say that you follow me, and others claim to follow Apollos. Isn’t that how ordinary people behave? ⁵ Apollos and I are merely servants who helped you to have faith. It was the Lord who made it all happen. ⁶ I planted the seeds, Apollos watered them, but God made them sprout and grow. ⁷ What matters isn’t those who planted or watered, but God who made the plants grow. ⁸ The one who plants is just as important as the one who waters. And each one will be paid for what they do. ⁹ Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God’s garden and God’s building.

Only One Foundation

¹⁰ God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build, ¹¹ because Christ is the only foundation. ^12-13 Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw. ¹⁴ We will be rewarded if our building is left standing. ¹⁵ But if it is destroyed by the fire, we will lose everything. Yet we ourselves will be saved, like someone escaping from flames.

¹⁶ All of you surely know that you are God’s temple and that his Spirit lives in you. ¹⁷ Together you are God’s holy temple, and God will destroy anyone who destroys his temple.

¹⁸ Don’t fool yourselves! If any of you think you are wise in the things of this world, you will have to become foolish before you can be truly wise. ¹⁹ This is because God considers the wisdom of this world to be foolish. It is just as the Scriptures say, “God catches the wise when they try to outsmart him.” ²⁰ The Scriptures also say, “The Lord knows that the plans made by wise people are useless.” ^21-22 So stop bragging about what anyone has done. Paul and Apollos and Peter all belong to you. In fact, everything is yours, including the world, life, death, the present, and the future. Everything belongs to you, ²³ and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.” ~ Contemporary English Version

The God/Christ in me acknowledged the God/Christ in you, which is what the word, Namaste means.

The Gospel of Mary ~ Sacred Scripture Found at Nag Hammadi

I wish I completely understood this years ago when I first read The Gospel of Mary, but the light dawns

New England Forest

slowly when obstacles of the mind insist that the truth cannot be so. So much indoctrination from one brand of religion to the other, including various spiritual concepts, can become so ingrained that when we do finally come across Truth, we are so tainted by false and intentional misinformation, that we can ramain lost, not being able to see the forest for the trees.

In recent posts, I have been referring to Jesus saying that the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU, which comes from Luke 17:21. This is also echoed in The Gospel of Mary (8,11-9,5).

“Be on your guard so that no one deceives you by saying, ‘Look over here’ or ‘Look over there.’ For the Child of Humanity exists within you. Follow it. Those who search for it will find it,” Jesus says, adding, “Go then, preach the good news about the kingdom. Do not lay down any rule beyond what I determined for you, nor promulgate law like the lawgiver, or else you might be dominated by it.” The Gospel of Mary in the Savior’s Farewell (8,11-9,5)

Do you now know where this kingdom of God is?

After Jesus said these things, he departed from them.

But these were not brave men. Instead of going out joyfully and preaching as the modern day bibles report it, they were distressed and wept greatly, beside themselves, frightened that what happened to Jesus might also happen to them – all, that is, except Mary. She comforts them and leads them into a discussion of the Savior’s teachings. This information comes from the introduction by Karen L. King to The Greek Gospel of Mary found in The International Edition The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, edited by Marvin Meyer.

Let’s think about this for a moment. Both in the traditional bible of today and in the sacred scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, we find Jesus saying the same thing, that the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU. I stress this because of the watering down into unrecognizable pablum that got translated into “the kingdom of God is ‘among you.’ Even today’s biblical experts are again putting back the word they changed, reinstituting the original WITHIN you in place of the maligned AMONG you, which means something else. The Hebrew-Greek-English Interlinear Bible, which goes back to the original writings in the scrolls, confirm that the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.

Jesus also tells his disciples not to lay down any more human rules on his God-inspired doctrine, nor to rule by such concepts as the lawgiver. So many belief systems, churches and other control systems mandate the one and only way to preach, teach, heal, forgive, as if “they” (whoever they are) are the One, True Church, or faithful congregation, wearing all the Sunday-best clothes, shunning people who do not believe exactly as you do, and pridefully holding themselves above others, because they are somehow “chosen,” and the only ones to be “saved.”

After three years of teaching his disciples, and after his resurrection, the disciples still have questions. Jesus answers every question they ask, and offers them a farewell discourse before commissioning them to go out and preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. Jesus has already told them, in Luke 17:21, that the kingdom of God is “WITHIN YOU.”

However, after Jesus departs, instead of going out joyfully, the disciples are weeping, frightened that what happened to him might also happen to them – all, that is, except Mary. She comforts them and leads them into a discussion of the Savior’s teachings. The Gospel of Mary (9,5-24)

Peter is the first to ask Mary to tell them any teaching that Jesus told her that the others do not know. Mary agrees and tells them about the rise of the soul past the powers of Darkness, Ignorance, Desire and Wrath, which result in seeking to keep the soul from ascending. When she is finished, she stands in silence, imitating the soul at rest. The Gospel of Mary (10, 1-10)

Then, as now, some of the men challenge her. Andrew, questions the “strangeness” of her teaching, followed by Peter, tripping on his ego, doubting that Jesus would give private instruction to a woman. By doing this, it showed the preference of Jesus to teach Mary the truths for which he came, over teaching the other disciples. The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19, 5)

Mary Magdalene comforts the disciples. She stands up and greets them all, addressing her brothers and sisters. Yes, other women were present at this time also.

“Do not weep and be distressed nor let your hearts be irresolute for his grace will be with you all and shelter you. Rather, we should praise his greatness, for he has prepared us and made us human beings*,” Mary Magdalene said, turning their hearts to the Good.  The Gospel of Mary (9, 5-24)

“Sister, we know that the Savior loved you more than all other women. Tell us the words of the Savior that you remember, the things you know that we don’t because we haven’t heard them,” Peter says. The Gospel of Mary (10, 1-10)

Mary then teaches them what has been hidden from them. She recounts a vision she had of Jesus. When Mary told Jesus of the vision she had of him, Jesus responded, “Blessed are you for not wavering at seeing me. For where the mind is, there is the treasure.” The Gospel of Mary (10, 10-23ff)

I don’t know about you, but I have spent most of my life searching for this “treasure,” this “pearl of value,” outside of myself in the various churches, theologies and ideologies, and the belief systems THEY promote, which was always OUTSIDE of me, not WITHIN me as Jesus teaches us.

How many times have you church hopped, or church shopped because they did not teach or preach what you knew to be true?

Mary Magdalene asked Jesus after her vision, “So now, Lord, does a person who sees a vision see it with the soul or with the spirit?” The Gospel of Mary (10, 10-23ff)

“The Savior answered, ‘A person does not see with the soul or with the spirit. Rather, the mind, which exists between these two, sees the vision, and that is (… the rest is missing). The Gospel of Mary (10, 10-23ff)

Mary describes the Ascent of the Soul as the vision she had demonstrated the heart’s Desire. The soul answers Desire, saying we mistake the garment it wears as the true self, something we do not readily recognize. The Gospel of Mary (15, 1-17,9)

In this vision, Mary then sees the third power called Ignorance, which the soul with knowledge, brings to nothing by an educated response. Ignorance tells the soul it is bound by wickedness. Here, Ignorance condemns the soul because of its “adulterous” relation with the body that binds it, but the soul, who understands the fleeting nature of the body and the world, rejects the judgment of Ignorance. Judgment here is not understood as the capacity for spiritual discernment, but as condemnation as Matthew 7:1 where Jesus says, “Stop Judging that you also may not be judged.” The Gospel of Mary (15, 1-17,9)

As the soul rises in this vision, it meets the fourth power, which had seven forms: Darkness, Desire, Ignorance, Zeal for Death, Kingdom of the Flesh, Foolish Wisdom, and lastly, Wisdom of the Wrathful Person. These are the seven powers of Wrath. The soul surpasses these powers in its Ascent. The Gospel of Mary (15, 1-17,9)

Mary Magdalene explains to the disciples that Wrath charges the soul with acts of violence:killing its own body by deserting the material world and destroying the realms of the powers during its Ascent. The soul acknowledges that all that binds it has been destroyed, but it interprets these acts as being freed from desire and ignorance. It had achieved true rest in silence. The Gospel of Mary (15, 1-17,9)

Mary continues with the vision, that the soul has been freed from Ignorance, with the knowledge that the kingdom of God dwells WITHIN all who receive this teaching, putting an end to Ignorance. The Gospel of Mary (15, 1-17,9)

It is this knowledge of understanding that the kingdom of God is WITHIN US, as taught by Jesus in multiple recorded statments by him, that disipates Ignorance. If you do not allow your mind to know what Jesus taught, ALL of what Jesus taught, you remain in Ignorance.

The first thing that Andrew does is to doubt what Mary Magdalene has told them, calling her words “strange ideas.” Andrew also heard Jesus say this before in Luke 17:21, but his mind was closed to what the words of Jesus meant. The understanding of the meaning that the kingdom of God is WITHIN US is completely opposite to what political and religion dominated control systems had indoctrinated for eons. The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19,5)

Peter jumps on the doubt-bandwagon, asking if Jesus would have spoken to a women in private, which is odd, given his original questioning in the first place, with his asking for more teachings that Jesus might have given her, that he did not give to them. The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19,5)

Levi comes to the aid of Mary, telling Peter, “Peter, you have always been a wrathful person. Now I see you contending against the woman like adversaries. For the Savior made her worthy, who are you then for your part to reject her? Assuredly the Savior’s knowledge of her is completely reliable. That is why he loved her more than us. The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19,5)

“Rather, we should be ashamed. We should clothe ourselves with the perfect human, acquire it for ourselves as he commanded us, and announce the good news, not laying down any other rule or law that differs from what the Savior said.” The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19,5)

The Gospel of Mary concludes with these words, “After he said these things, they started going out to teach and to preach.” The Gospel of Mary (17, 10-19,5)

* The footnote in this translation renders “man” in the broader concept to mean all of humanity, or “human beings.” Unlike in The Gospel of Thomas, where the original word “male” does refer to a masculine gendered person. In The Gospel of Mary, it is “man.” Since in The Gospel of Mary both men and women disciples are made “men,” the intent is generic (human beings).

Proof The Book of Enoch: The Angels ~ The Watchers And The Nephilim ~ Was Used By Jesus Christ

“The Book of Enoch was found in the 18th century. It was assumed to have been penned after the beginning ofthe Christian era. This theory was based on the fact that it had quotes and paraphrases as well as concepts found in the New Testament. Thus, it was assumed that it was heavily influenced by the writers such as Jude and Peter.

“However, recent discoveries of copies of the book among the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran prove the book was in existence before the time of Jesus Christ.” Dr. Joseph B. Lumpkin in his Introduction to The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim (with Extensive Commentary on the Three Books of Enoch, the Fallen Angels, the Calendar of Enoch, and Daniel’s Prophecy.)

I have discussed this information with strict, Bible-based Christians, some of whom deny that Jesus quoted Enoch. But when Dead Sea Scrolls were found they provided proof that Jesus and the apostles did in fact, refer to the messages Enoch provided, and they did so more than 100 times in the New Testament of today’s modern Bible.

Here are some of the comparisons:

JESUS
MATTHEW 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.”

ENOCH 5:7 “And all the elect shall rejoice, and there shall be forgiveness of sins, and mercy and peace and forbearance and joy, (like/and) a good light.”

ENOCH 48:1 “And in that place I saw the spring of righteousness which was inexhaustible. And around it were many springs of wisdom. And all the thirsty drank of them, and were filled with wisdom, and their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.”
___

Lumpkin points out that the term, the “Elect One” is a most significant term, found in the Book of Enoch 14 times. The Letter of Jude, nestled between the Third Letter of John and the Book of Revelations in the New Testament, in verse 14 says that “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied.” In verse 15, Jude quotes Enoch word-for-word saying, “to excute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly.”

An interesting difference in Luke 9:35 from the other accounts of the Transfiguration of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, is Luke’s choice of words from Enoch, referring to Jesus as The Elect One, as opposed to the commonly mistranslated, “This is my beloved Son.”

In Hebrews 11:5 in today’s Bible says, “By faith Enoch was taken up (Lumpkin’s word used is “translated.” Today we might understand this better as “Ascended”). Lumpkin says, “Enoch experienced the “rapture” in his time before the judgment before the Flood. What Enoch experienced is what some modern Christians believe is waiting for the church. I Thessalonians 4:15-17 promises that Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God, and the church will be taken up, or “raptured,” to meet him in the air.”

I might add here, 1 Thessalonians 4:17 continues by adding, “… and so we shall always be with the Lord.” This point brings us to the understanding that All Is One in the Lord of Light, Love and ETERNAL LIFE.

We are asked in these writings to hear the words of Jesus and Enoch, ALL of their words. Remember, Jesus said in John 4:14 “the water that I shall give shall be IN HIM a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

This is what I have been saying, especially in the previous 5 posts, that this LOVE of God, this LIGHT of God, this LIFE of God lives within each of us. It grows in us the more we think and make decisions based on LOVE.

When we think and make decisions based on NOT LOVE, this well spring of water dries up. The LIGHT within our Souls dims. We separate ourselves from LOVE and LIGHT, which then manifests an unbalanced world of negative energies. What we think about, we bring about.

Jesus, in Luke 17:21, says the Kingdom of God is WITHIN US. Most translations which changed these words to “among you,” are now going back to the original translation which reads “within you.”

Stay in LOVE. Keep thoughts that are LIGHT, harmony, peace, joy, empathy, compassion for your health, the health and lifeof all people, and the health and life of the planet.

“Do Not Let Heaven’s Kingdom Become A Desert Within You,” Jesus Said ~ God Is Closer To You Than Your Next Breath

Again we are told that the kingdom of God, the kingdom of the heaven, is inside of us. It is Jesus who is saying this to James and Peter 550 days after he rose from the dead, before he ascended into heaven. This scripture passage can be found in The Secret Book of James,(2,7 – 3,38).

These many days following the resurrection, the closest friends of Jesus, James and Peter (the be-loved apostle John is not in this written account), were still trying to get a grip on all that had recently happened. There were many miracles performed by Jesus that had taken place in their sight. The death and resurrection of Jesus already having taken place, and now the post-resurrected Jesus is telling them, “Do not let heaven’s kingdom become a desert within you.” (The Secret Book of James – 12,17-13,25)

The transfiguration of Jesus, in the presence of Elijah and Moses, is an example of Jesus showing us that the Divine Light unifies time and space, and us with the Light of Divine Source, past, present and future all in simultaeous time.

Don’t forget, it was Peter, James and John who Jesus thought were the most understanding of his teachings, so much so, that Jesus takes them, and not the other apostles, up the mountain where his transfiguration into brilliant white light takes place right before their eyes. Also present at the transfiguration of Jesus is Moses and Elijah.

Surely they would understand when Jesus tells them that the kingdom of God is within them, like he did prior to his death, in Luke 17:20,21. “One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, ‘When will the Kingdom of God begin?” Jesus replied, ‘The Kingdom of God isn’t ushered in with visible signs. You won’t be abe to say, ‘It has begun here in this place, or there in that part of the country.’ For the Kingdom of God is within you.'” ~ The Catholic Bible, Tyndale House Publishers

There is a LIGHT within each and every one of us. It is part of our life’s journey to discover this, and come to terms with who and what we are, and why we are here on the earth at this time, born into the families we are, and into the situations in which we find ourselves.

What is your dharma, your mission in this life?

Our souls are our divine connection to the Source of All LIFE, LIGHT, and LOVE. Without it we cease to be. There is a similarity between our breath and our souls. Without our breath, our souls go back to God. We cease our physical lives. Likewise, without our souls, we breathe no more. We cease our physical lives. They go hand in hand, so to speak.

The Seat of your Soul within your DNA blueprint extends etherically about a foot beyond your physical body. It is also integrated into and works with your physical body. This is where your I AM Presence resides, your God-Particle.

God is closer to you than your next breath. That is because God IS your next breath, as I understand this. Jesus has told us time and again, that the Kingdom of God is inside of us. We are not to make this Kingdom of God into a desert, all dried up and lifeless.

If we are not to make the Kingdom of God inside of us a desert, then we must take care to water it with loving thoughts, words and actions. The world is sorely in need of loving thoughts, words and actions. The biggest crisis on the planet presently is a lack of empathy in the winds of injustice. Follow your heart to see where you can be most helpful.
